SP-33 Root Resorption: Clinical Management and Patient Centered Outcomes
CE Hours: 1.5
Description: In modern dentistry, more natural teeth are retained in service for an increased number of years in which they are subjected to a wide array of chemical, mechanical and microbiological stimuli including the iatrogenic impact. Therefore, the presentation of different resorptive defects is not a rarity in dental offices. This clinically oriented presentation will discuss various aspects of root resorption categories from pathophysiology to diagnosis and treatment planning. The aim is to guide the clinician through non-surgical, surgical, and monitoring management protocols supported by the best available evidence, and enhance the clinical practice to provide favorable patient-centered outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss pathophysiology of root resorption and clinical relevance.
- Evaluate modes of intervention in cases of root resorption applying most recent technology.
- Describe patient centered outcomes for management of root resorption.
